Poor man's Ansible Tower

After a while of messing around with the free / demo version of Ansible Tower I thought that this could also be done with free tools. With some help from the internet and as an IT consultant I found the way forward.

As we all known Ansible is for free and is a package in the Ubuntu repository. Ansible Tower is a frontend for Ansible that will provide scheduler and a fancy webfrontend.

Rundeck is a job scheduler and runbook administration that is for free and also has a fancy webfrontend.

So for the poor man's solution we are going to use the best of both worlds.

POC

function Start-Sleep($seconds) {
    $doneDT = (Get-Date).AddSeconds($seconds)
    while($doneDT -gt (Get-Date)) {
        $secondsLeft = $doneDT.Subtract((Get-Date)).TotalSeconds
        $percent = ($seconds - $secondsLeft) / $seconds * 100
        Write-Progress -Activity "Sleeping" -Status "Sleeping..." -SecondsRemaining $secondsLeft -PercentComplete $percent
        [System.Threading.Thread]::Sleep(500)
    }
    Write-Progress -Activity "Sleeping" -Status "Sleeping..." -SecondsRemaining 0 -Completed
}
